Singapore, 1 January 2025 – Singapore welcomed 2025 in spectacular fashion with a breathtaking fireworks display, along with lively celebrations, at the Marina Bay Singapore Countdown 2025 (MBSC 2025). Presented by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), this year’s celebrations marked a special milestone, as the countdown was part of the islandwide ONE Countdown celebrations commemorating Singapore’s 60th birthday (SG60).

In the hour leading up to the new year, the fireworks unfolded in four chapters and illuminated the iconic Marina Bay skyline with vibrant bursts of colours across the night sky. MBSC 2025 punctuated the ringing in of the New Year at midnight with the debut of specially curated orchid motifs, designed by the team behind STAR ISLAND.
